Overall Review of Delaware Highlands
common12 reviews mention this
Staff are consistently described as helpful
Residents and families consistently describe staff as friendly and responsive.
Many reviewers say interactions with staff are positive, from answering questions during the process to ongoing day-to-day help. A number of families describe the staff as pleasant, attentive, and supportive of residents. Some also mention staff showing up during major moments, like hospital visits and a memorial service. A separate review notes an oversight concern after a resident was not found for hours, which is why resident safety expectations come up alongside praise.
common7 reviews mention this
Activities are both praised and criticized
Activities are a major point of discussion, with mixed experiences.
Several residents and families describe a busy activity calendar, including outings and frequent chances to get involved. Others report the opposite, saying there were few or no activities at the time they were there. One reviewer also calls out the need for more variety and more frequent opportunities beyond basic chair-based exercises. Because both viewpoints appear in the reviews, it seems the activity experience may vary by timing and engagement level.

Dining gets strong feedback, with exceptions
Dining is frequently praised, but there are some concerns.
Many reviews describe meals positively, including comments about food being excellent and the day having balanced meals. Some families also mention the ability to share a meal with a loved one. There are also a few complaints: one review says there is an extra monthly charge for meals, and another notes an issue with too much salt that was later resolved. Another reviewer points to details around meals like table linens not matching what was shown online.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Safety and oversight raise recurring concerns
Two reviews raise serious concerns about safety and oversight.
One reviewer reports a resident fall and says the resident was not located for several hours, with a neighbor needing to alert staff. Another review alleges repeated theft of items from a resident’s room and says it has happened multiple times. While other reviews highlight positive staff interactions, these safety-related concerns show up clearly in residents’ and families’ comments.

Assisted living costs often exceed Social Security benefits, necessitating a combination of funding sources like state aid and Medicaid. Understanding the interaction between Social Security programs and available financial support is essential for affording such care.
The VA Aid and Attendance benefit provides financial support to veterans needing assistance with daily living due to medical conditions or disabilities, augmenting standard VA pensions for services like in-home care. Eligibility is based on service duration, wartime status, income, and medical needs, with a detailed application process required to access funds for caregiving and home modifications.
Senior move management services assist older adults in the relocation process by providing emotional support and organizational help, addressing unique challenges like downsizing and moving from long-term homes.
